Today, our company houses four diverse business’ namely, The Play Projects, Therapy at Home, The Play Way and Quondong Wahgunyah.
We have a team of 40+ committed therapists, educators, creatives, corporate and warehouse staff.
Despite our growth, our mission has never wavered: we exist to support children and the grown-ups who raise them. We deliver therapy, tools and training to improve the lives of our clients and our community. And we do it all through skill-building experiences that feel like play.
Meet Kaitlyn Cummins, the founder of The Play Projects.
Kaitlyn is a mother of four and has been an Occupational Therapist (OT) for more than 15 years.
There’s no doubt that her passion for helping children reach their full potential has been the driving force behind The Play Projects and our ever-growing sister businesses.
When asked what drove her to start The Play Projects, Kaitlyn answered “I started The Play Projects because I believe that parents are our biggest heroes and greatest assets when it comes to saving the world.”
Kaitlyn is pictured here with Marcus – an educator, passionate member of the Play Projects team, and husband to Kaitlyn.
(Though our community will know him best as ‘Boodz’, no doubt!).
We’re often asked if Kaitlyn is available for guest speaking or podcast appearances, and we gladly consider all requests, so please don’t hesitate to get in touch.
